Position Paper on Training Corporation of America and Secondary Education for Alaska's Rural Youth.

The Alaska State Department of Education's position paper on the size and type of secondary schools needed for Alaska's rural youth includes a revision of the existing Rural School Plan, an overview of areas where educational opportunities are presently available for high school-age students in Alaska, and a discussion of potential areas where secondary opportunities should be made available. Three kinds of secondary schools are considered: (1) minimal secondary schools; (2) area secondary schools; and (3) comprehensive regional high schools. Proposed recommendations for rural high school research, planning, and implementation for a 2-year period, 1967-69, are included. Statistical data are presented to add significance to the narrative.
